As this wine tasting flight is being introduced this election season, In Good Taste teamed up with theSkimm to remind consumers the importance of voting. Each wine kit includes voting resources, which helps to connect consumers to practical resources and information so that they can make their voices heard. The United Grapes of America Flight shares eight by-the-glass wines like a pinot noir from Oregon, a roussanne from Texas and a petit verdot from Virginia. The experience also includes a virtual component so that wine lovers can be guided by one of the in-house wine experts at In Good Taste.
